Operational Efficiency2/15
Entry Multiple: 8.0x – 10.0x
Est. MOIC: 1.9x
Risk Factors:
- Negative operating margin
- Low occupancy (<30%) — demand risk
- Expenses exceed revenue
Catalysts:
- RCM optimization could add 3-5pp margin
- Strong commercial payer base protects revenue
- Limited competition supports pricing power
- Volume growth opportunity from low occupancy
Margin Prediction (Trained Ridge Model)
-14.3%
R²=0.34 | n=4,907 | Grade B | Actual: -50.0%
Ridge regression trained on 4,907 HCRIS hospitals. 90% CI: [-42.6%, 14.0%]. P29 nationally.
| Driver | Value | Effect | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue/Bed | 242704.700 | -0.1866 | Lower Revenue/Bed decreases predicted margin | |
| Expense/Bed | 527242.846 | +0.1392 | Higher Expense/Bed increases predicted margin | |
| Bed Utilization Value | 59936.051 | -0.0270 | Lower Bed Utilization Value decreases predicted ma | |
| Occupancy | 0.247 | -0.0158 | Lower Occupancy decreases predicted margin | |
| Net-to-Gross | 0.258 | -0.0124 | Lower Net-to-Gross decreases predicted margin |
Turnaround: 27%Low turnaround probability (27%). Structural disadvantages in Revenue/Bed and Expense/Bed.
